While read line ignores the '\' in file content
I need to read temp.$i file content line by line through while loop but somehow the '\' do not appear in output.. Can someone guide how to read this exact content line by line in unix :
Code:
        if [ -s "temp.$i" ]
        then
           cat temp.$i | head -1 # the file content appears fine 
           while read line1
           do
                 echo "$line1"   # the '\''s are being ignored in output
                 exit
          done < temp.$i
        fi

Output:
Code:
AM_DASHBOARD\MAIN\02RUN\RUNMISURE_E2E, sequence job  # ok
AM_DASHBOARDMAIN02RUNRUNMISURE_E2E, sequence job      #not ok
